#i completely understand the (justified) complaint of ppl using subtitles as a way to add jokes and make it completely inaccessible
#but then there’s the other side of it when there is zero humor in the subtitles for an intentionally comedic video
#spell out the puns if the speaker is putting emphasis!
#write out the onomatopoeia if there are sound effects that are reacted to but not addressed!
#sometimes they even skip out on lines entirely
#just bc someone says smth under their breath does not mean it was Actually not for the audience to hear
#that being said. i will always appreciate creators that hire real ppl to subtitle their vids
#instead of relying on the auto-generated captions to butcher and detract from the video
#autogen captions are a fucking joke
#did i ever tell you guys abt how my HoH friend was hired to draw one of their fav youtuber’s thumbnails
#and when they asked the ytber if they would add captions sometime (bc the ytber already uses scripts for their vids)
#the ytber just told them youtube already has captions. 😐
#you can hire an artist but you can’t hire someone to add words to a screen…
#needless to say my friend does not freelance for them anymore
